Frank's Musings

It would be comforting to know that Trump never had our most secret nuclear documents. Based on the rumor (?) that his generals didn’t trust him, and the discussions by his cabinet officers about invoking the 25th amendment, one wonders. Did his administration really ever trust him to have unlimited access to information that could jeopardize the whole country?

Senate confirmation is required for appointment of both military general -rank officers and cabinet secretaries to their positions. This is a check on errant behavior, even of the President. Unfortunately, that alone is not a 100% guarantee of the nation’s security. So AG Garland was correct in seizing Trump’s store of White House documents.
